One of the few things that are set in stone is the dashboard. I'd like a minimalist aftermarket dash panel, so hopefully the speedo won't be a problem regardless of the final spec.

I tried out a Dutton pedal box in trainers once. It didn't go well

If your planning on MX5 rear then I see no real sense in going for a sierra engine and box as you can get better power from the MX5 and it may cost less.

TBH a Pinto/CVH lump isn't on the cards. I'm still undecided on the rear set-up but it'll either be Sierra or MX5 - it depends on how much extra space the offset MX5 diff takes up (based on Skov's build thread). If I do go for a MX5 diff, then in all likelihood the whole build will be MX5 based. I think I might need to have a word with HandyAndy and Spud but I'll wait for the build notes to get on the Saturn website next week first

Im used to it now but prefer to wear slimline shoes

That's what I was thinking about doing. I've had cars with small footwells before and have been OK. We'll see...
Thanks for the welcome and the help so far guys!
